A one-day colour experience designed to spark creativity, build confidence and introduce the Allilon approach to colour.

Get Inspired: Colour blends colour theory with hands-on exploration, showing how placement, tone and palette choices can transform shape, texture and expression in the salon. Expect a focused, inspiring day that moves from ideas to practical application, with plenty of guidance along the way.

You’ll explore colour palettes, creative placement techniques and simplified colour theory in a relaxed, supportive environment – a perfect first step into Allilon colour education. Rather than completing a full finished look, the day focuses on building a strong foundation through discussion, observation and practical work.

We use Davines colour systems across our education. While products may vary, the thinking does not – the skills you learn can be applied with any professional colour range.

Who is this course for?

This course is ideal if you’re new to Allilon or starting your journey into colour.

Whether you’re:

an assistant or newly qualified colourist
a junior colourist looking for clarity and inspiration
an experienced colourist wanting fresh ideas and a new way of thinking

You’ll leave with practical techniques, professional confidence and an Allilon framework you can take straight back to the salon.

What you’ll learn

A clear, simplified understanding of colour theory – hue, tone, contrasting and complmentary colours.
Confident mixing and formulation
Placement using sectioning patterns for veil, panel and soft transition zones
Tone layering, overlay and glossing for modern, wearable results
How colour choices influence shape, movement and texture
